Pattern Description:

This Diamonds and Cables pattern has been very popular since I posted one of my first hand knit pillow covers. When a customer asked for this design as a blanket, I modified my pattern and using a double thickness 100% wool, worsted weight yarn I hand knit this super warm 60"x72" blanket.

This pattern is really for the experienced knitter who is willing to put in a lot of hours of knitting!

Its knit back and forth on a circular needle to accomodate the large number of stitches.

You will need to know how to use a cable needle and be able to knit two different cables over different numbers of rows.... but it will be worth the hard work!

Have you made this pattern?

Ever since my Mum taught me to knit and sew I have loved the creative process and experimenting with design.

I find pillow covers to be the perfect way to combine my love of design and the textures that can be created with a single strand of yarn. I especially love experimenting with cable patterns.
